The era of mega-constellations is no longer exclusive to giants like SpaceX and Amazon. Paul 'Rusty' Thomas, a former executive at both companies and now CEO of EnduroSat USA, predicts a future with 100,000 satellites in orbit—a milestone he believes is rapidly approaching. This explosion in satellite deployment is being fueled by advancements in mass-producible payloads and modular satellite platforms like EnduroSat's Frame ESPA-class satellite. The technology to launch, operate, and maintain such a large number of satellites in the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) environment already exists, paving the way for a new wave of innovation in space. This isn't just about the big players anymore; the democratization of space is here. Buckle up.
From Atlantic gales that swept through the fleets, to weather forecasts that threatened to cause havoc, the start of the 2025 Transat Cafe L'Or was a challenging one for organisers and competitors alike.

So, while this Transatlantic double handed-classic is well known for being a tough one, this year the stress just kept coming. We take a look at how the first 8 days of racing played out across the fleets.
